    That is a sweet looking car, but what kind of mileage will it get?

    Heheh... :p

    Well, the Volta gets 35 mpg on the highway if you can believe it. Obviously not when it's going from 0-60 in 4 seconds though.

    Hate to crush your dreams, but glossynews is definitely, absolutely, fo-sho a satire site. Read some of the other headlines...


    (edit: but I think you all knew that anyway. Damn sleep deprivation.)

    I guessed this was a satire article when I saw "Priapus" as the model name. In Greek mythology, Priapus is the god of male procreative power.

    Though it would be refreshing to see a sports car where the sexual implications aren't[/b] subliminal... :mrgreen:

    Same here. I was suspicious due to the name and the fact it gets no mention on the German Toyota site. Much prefre Volta as a name too :)

    Origin unknown, though it looks like the tow truck has a California address on the side of it.

    Hi folks,
    The Volta concept car was debuted in March at the Geneva Show.
    This is one article describing the car. [web:46c35930b9]http://www.auto123.com/en/info/news/news,view.spy?artid=21889[/web:46c35930b9]
    A thing of beauty and power plus, and Eco too!

    Regards,
    kenmac
